9: 42	This became known by (kata) the whole Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
10: 37	That message spread by (kata) the whole Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced:

13: 23	Of this man's posterity God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, according to (kata) his promise;
13: 27	Because the residents of Jerusalem and their leaders did not recognize him or understand the words of the prophets that are read sabbath by (kata) sabbath, they fulfilled those words by condemning him.
14: 1	According to (kata) same thing it occurred in Iconium, when Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks became believers.
14: 2	But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against (kata) the brothers.
14: 23	And after they had appointed elders for them church by (kata) church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.

15: 21	For city by (kata) city, for generations past, Moses has had those who proclaim him, for he has been read aloud sabbath by (kata) sabbath in the synagogues."
15: 23	with the following letter: "The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the believers of Gentile by (kata) Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings.
15: 36	After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us return and visit the believers city by (kata) city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord and see how they are doing."
16: 5	So the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in numbers day by (kata) day.
16: 7	When they had come by (kata) Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
16: 22	The crowd joined against (kata) them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
16: 25	By (kata) midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
17: 2	And Paul went in, according to (kata) his custom, and on three sabbath days argued with them from the scriptures,
17: 11	These Jews were more receptive than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message very eagerly and examined the scriptures day by (kata) day to see whether these things were so.
17: 17	So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and also in the marketplace day by (kata) day with those who happened to be there.
17: 22	Then Paul stood in front of the Areopagus and said, "Athenians, I see how extremely religious you are according to (kata) all things.
17: 28	For 'In him we live and move and have our being'; according to (kata) what some of your own poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.'
18: 4	Sabbath by (kata) sabbath he would argue in the synagogue and would try to convince Jews and Greeks.
18: 14	Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of crime or serious villainy, I would welcome your complaint, Jews, according to (kata) reason.;
18: 15	but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and law according to (kata) you, see to it yourselves; I do not wish to be a judge of these matters."
19: 9	When some stubbornly refused to believe and spoke evil of the Way before the congregation, he left them, taking the disciples with him, and argued day by (kata) day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
19: 16	Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered them all, and so took advantage against (kata) them so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
19: 20	So the word grew according to (kata) the might of the Lord and prevailed.
19: 23	By (kata) that time no little disturbance broke out concerning the Way.
20: 20	I did not shrink from doing anything helpful, proclaiming the message to you and teaching you publicly and house by (kata) house,
20: 23	except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me city by (kata) city that imprisonment and persecutions are waiting for me.
21: 19	After greeting them, he related one by (kata) one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
21: 21	They have been told about you that you teach all the Jews living in the presence (kata) of the Gentiles to forsake Moses, and that you tell them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs.
21: 28	shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against (kata) our people, our law, and this place; more than that, he has actually brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."
22: 3	"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, educated strictly according to (kata) our ancestral law, being zealous for God, just as all of you are today.
22: 12	"A certain Ananias, who was a devout man according to (kata) the law and well spoken of by all the Jews living there,
22: 19	And I said, 'Lord, they themselves know that synagogue by (kata) synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you.
23: 3	At this Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me according to (kata) the law, and yet in violation of the law you order me to be struck?"
23: 19	The tribune took him by the hand, drew him aside by (kata) himself, and asked, "What is it that you have to report to me?"
23: 31	So the soldiers, according to (kata) their instructions, took Paul and brought him during the night to Antipatris.
24: 1	Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney, a certain Tertullus, and they reported their case against (kata) Paul to the governor.
24: 5	We have, in fact, found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews by (kata) the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
24: 12	They did not find me disputing with anyone in the temple or stirring up a crowd either in the synagogues or city by (kata) city.
24: 14	But this I admit to you, that according to (kata) the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our ancestors, believing everything laid down according to (kata) the law or written in the prophets.
24: 22	But Felix, who was rather well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing with the comment, "When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will examine the things against (kata) you."
25: 2	where the chief priests and the leaders of the Jews gave him a report against (kata) Paul. They appealed to him
25: 3	and requested, as a favor to them against (kata) Paul, to have him transferred to Jerusalem. They were, in fact, planning an ambush to kill him by (kata) the way.
25: 14	Since they were staying there several days, Festus laid things against (kata) Paul before the king, saying, "There is a man here who was left in prison by Felix.
25: 15	When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me about him and asked for a sentence against (kata) him.
25: 16	I told them that it was not the custom of the Romans to hand over anyone before the accused had met the accusers in the presence of (kata) them and had been given an opportunity to make a defense concerning the accusations.
25: 23	So on the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and men according to (kata) prominence in the city. Then Festus gave the order and Paul was brought in.
25: 27	for it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner without indicating the charges against (kata) him."
26: 3	because you are especially familiar every things according to (kata) the customs and controversies of the Jews; therefore I beg of you to listen to me patiently.
26: 5	They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived according to (kata) the strictest sect of our religion as a Pharisee.
26: 11	By punishing them synagogues by (kata) synagogues I tried to force them to blaspheme; and since I was so furiously enraged at them, I pursued them even to foreign cities.
26: 13	when by (kata) midday along the road, your Excellency, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions.
27: 2	Embarking on a ship of Adramyttium that was about to set sail to the ports by (kata) the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.
27: 5	After we had sailed across the sea by (kata) Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
27: 7	We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty by (kata) Cnidus, and as the wind did not permit us, we sailed under the lee of Crete by (kata) Salmone.
27: 12	Since the harbor was not suitable for spending the winter, the majority was in favor of putting to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, where they could spend the winter. It was a harbor of Crete, looking by (kata) southwest and by (kata) northwest.
27: 14	But soon a violent wind, called the northeaster, rushed down against (kata) them.
27: 25	So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will be according to (kata) what I have been told.
27: 27	When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of Adria, by (kata) midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.
27: 29	Fearing that we might run against (kata) the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.
28: 16	When we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to live by (kata) himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.
